Neuralink and Elon Musk Have 10,000 Electrode-Thread Brain Computer Interface | NextBigFuture.com

Neuralink is recruiting people to work on its brain-machine interface system. It is a less invasive system with about 10,000 electrodes in a neural-lace. Each chip has 1,000 electrode connections and they think can use up to about ten chips together in the version one system. Later versions will scale up more. 10,000 probes that are 5 microns thick. This is less than the 100-micron thick human hair. The threads are have had designs down to 350 nanometers. This is 1000 times the number of probes and electrodes for the best current FDA approved system and the Neuralink system is
